He did it my way – Jeff Johnson made my most recent tattoo--a multiple-layered, many-staged undertaking--perhaps not painless, but a pure pleasure. From start to finish, Johnson took the arcane concept I brought in and developed it to perfection, first creating some drawings to start the visual conversation, then carefully adjusting the image to fit my body and the colors to match the ambiguous palate I struggled to identify with words. The inital outlining phases of the piece took many hours, and Johnson and his cabaret cre... read more

HORRIBLE! – KEVIN is the worst. he butchered my wrists and gave me a tattoo a 4 yr old could draw. im insulted by his lack of professionalism. he should not be tattooing. MIKE V. at tiger lilly fixed them for me and im so thankful. go to him hes great. never in a million yrs let kevin tattoo u. it was traumatising painful and turned out ugly.

badtattoo – I got a tattoo here and now i really regret it. I have already made plans to get it fixed as soon as it heals. It did seem that maybe some descent art comes out of this place but I feel each individual customer should be given the same time and respect. Here is a good piece of advice that I should have taken, if you can walk right into a place its probly not that good. Good tattoo artists are usually booked out at least a week.

Fantastic Art - Great environment - Super-cool tattoo artists – My Girlfriend and I came into Sea Tramp on a normal Tuesday evening. Walking into this great shop you get this supercool old-school feeling, my friend and I were pummped to see that we could walk in off the street and get a tattoo! My friend had this idea and ran it by the tattoo guy and he drew something up in a quick flash. I grabbed some flash off the wall that is like 40 years old! In a matter of like ta few hours we were happy and tattoo'd. Great experience... read more

Took my money for a design and never called me back. To me that's the practice of a Shady business. I'm out my money now. There are better places to get art work done.

Let them tattoo you!!! – I couldn not recomend a better all around tattoo parlor than Sea Tramp. in buisness for the last 30 years they are confidant, without being that tacky 'holier than thou' thing that some parlors get. custom work is always welcome, great knowledge of tattoo history and versed in all styles.also they have one of the best portrait guys I've seen in years. no matter which artist you have work upon you the energy and conversation are pleasent and the tattooing experience will stay with you as long as the i... read more
